I judge a company not only by it's product quality but also by the quality of it's support. ACS has demonstrated prompt, quality support of their products during my recent crisis. Thanks for being a cut above the rest.

I actually use the pro version. What I say is equally applicable to the free version. IObit has developed a user friendly interface of Scan, Protect and Action Center which makes sense and maybe familiar to the user as it is common to other IObit products. The Tool Box provides many different functions that I have not seen in similar products. I find it competent and easy to use.

ASC is easy to use and has kept my 3 pc's running well for a number of years now.
I have read the negative comments left but I have never had any negative occurance while using ASC. I used the free version for a while then upgraded to pro and it was the best thing I done as I got even more features and tools wrapped in a user friendly bundle, one click and ASC takes over and keepsthe pc healthy and happy. All my famioly and freinds use ASC and they have never told me of any negatives happenning to their pc's

Cons

Have not encountered any cons so far and have been using this product for years.

Summary

ASC in my view is one of the top rated maintenance tools on the market I personally swear by it and I can quite easily recommend this to everyone who has a pc as I truly beleive in this product as it has never ever let me down

I hate sneaky and devious behavior at the best of times, but this application really 'takes the cake'. I don't care how good a program this is, or how much it will do for you - if it doesn't let you say 'good bye'.

When you install this program, it will insert parts of itself into your system that you not be able to get rid of without time-consuming effort. And, you run the risk of damaging your system in the process.

Please sure that IObit products are completely free from spyware or any other malicious software. Please contact our customer service with detailed information through the link below and then we will do our best to help you.

Very easy to use, and, covers everything you are likely to need to ensure the smooth running of your system in today's working environment. The Free version is comprehensive enough for anyone's use and the pro version, which is extremely cheap for what it is provides extra tweeking for the geekier community. The customer service is excellent and I have never has a problem with this product in the 3 years that I have been using it. Infact, it is the first thing I download if I buy a new machine.

Cons

I really can't think of any !

Summary

Excellent for the money if you choose to buy Pro, beyond good if you choose the free product as you couldn't ask for more.

It's one big advertisement. Even though I paid for the Total care package, half of the features and additional downloads, that also require payment. It's the app you never stop paying for. I regret paying for this app, full of "Activate now" buttons and ads everywhere, even though I paid for Total care....

Summary

Cool features, but deceitful business plan. If I had the chance to refund my purchase, I would.
